In this episode, we talk to Patrick and Carlina of the Pine Barren Palletworks and Sawdust Gypsy about their journey from a garage-based business to owning a brick-and-mortar storefront. We share the challenges of managing inventory, paperwork, and taxes, and the learning curve that comes with owning a storefront. We also delve into the renovation process of their space and the success of their Pine Barren Makers Fest. The conversation emphasizes the importance of seizing opportunities, embracing change, and constantly growing in business. We also touch on Mike's latest woodworking project and the potential of niche markets. Lastly, we highlight the excitement around the upcoming Pine Barren Makers Festival and the unique features it will offer, like a beer garden, live music, and creative photo ops.
